But what I found interesting is that Devon, the hero of ROE actually has some of the same qualities as Wynter. It just rollicks along.īlythe: Don’t even get me started on Wynter – I just couldn’t stand that guy! He just seemed hyper-alpha in a bad way to me. It grabs you from page one and doesn’t let go.
Best of all, Dodd didn’t use two of my least favorite plot devices – separation and misunderstanding – both of which are in ROE. But, we will still have an area of disagreement – I loved Rules of Surrender (ROS)! I just loved Wynter – the non-savage savage and his children were adorable. But Rules of Engagement (ROE) is just so darn funny that I enjoyed it from start to finish, even though I thought there were some parts that required a lot of suspension of disbelief. Young, attractive Pamela Lockhart is desperate for money (and business for The Distinguished Academy) so she disguises herself as an older woman, and comes to work for Devon.īlythe: Linda, I’ve got a surprise for you – I really enjoyed Rules of Engagement! I am surprising myself here as well, because I did not care at all for Rules of Surrender, or the Dodd book I read before that, A Well-Pleasured Lady. Since he is really handsome and charming, he insists that the governess must be older and unattractive. He decides that the best way to impress Victoria is to adopt a foundling and hire a governess to train him. Here we find Devon, Lord Kerrich, who must become respectable or risk losing large sums of money that Queen Victoria has deposited in his family’s bank. Rules of Engagement is the second book in Christina Dodd’s series about the Distinguished Academy of Governesses.
